Players
Participation is open to all adult music makers and selected high school students with an application/recommendation/audition. A complete summer commitment is not necessary - come as you can.
Music
Folders may be checked out for practice through the librarians. The folders must be present for each rehearsal & concert - without exception! Call Amanda if you have any concerns; 251-5079.
Money?!
Yes, this is a semi-professional gig! The City of Missoula fronts us about $6000 for our music. We pay the bills and salaries, and then split the balance evenly between members with at least an 80% attendance rate at rehearsals/gigs.
